Patent EP-1320966-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MALECK TIMOTHY C
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: An audio Encoder/Decoder (AC)-97 protocol link is used for concurrent data communication between AC-97 protocol devices and non-AC-97 protocol devices. The tag data 502 in an AC-97 data frame is used to select specific CODECs 203, 204, 205 and to determine which data time slors to ignore or accept. Since telephone voice and data communication uses only the Tag data 502 and one other of the data frame time slots, eleven slots are available for communication using non-Ac-97 protocol devices concurrent with telephony communications. Ethernet, Home Phoneline Network Alliance (HPNA), Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) are some of the data communication protocols that may be employed using embodiments of the present invention. An AC-97 data communication controller 201 may modified with addtional logic and control lines to support additional features of non-AC-97 protocol devices.

Abstract: A voltage boost power converter circuit, having an input inductor, active switch, and a transformer having primary, secondary and auxiliary windings. A clamping capacitor and a first passive switch are in series across the primary winding. The auxiliary winding and a second passive switch are in series, connected to the node between the clamping capacitor and first passive switch. The active switch is connected between ground the primary winding. A bulk capacitor forms a series loop including the active switch and primary winding. The method efficiently resets a the transformer, by transferring power to a load through the primary winding, and discharging a clamping capacitor through a separate inductively linked winding of the transformer during an ON state; and clamping the active switch voltage with the clamping capacitor, charging the clamping capacitor with a leakage inductance of the transformer, and charging the bulk capacitor during an OFF state.

Abstract: Twisted thread is drawn back off the winding bobbin (S), until a thread section is reached in which the twist is intact. This section is fixed and parted, behind the fixing point with respect to the winding bobbin. The parting location assures sufficient thread length for mechanical- or hand knotting or splicing, to allow connection with the end from the twisting spindle. Twist spindle operation is resumed with a time delay in take-up, allowing for appropriate twist as the thread section between joining- and fixing points runs through. Preferred Features: A central controller (C) delays winding spool start up as the twist spindle runs up. The delay takes into consideration: spindle rotation speed, twist per meter and run-up time of the spindle.

recording layer in five stages or more. On the recording
layer 12 of an optical recording medium 10, defined
contiguously are virtual recording cells 40 within a groove
16 along tracks arranged at track pitches of 1 to 1.5µm.
The time and/or the irradiation irradiation power of the

corresponding to the information to be recorded on each of
the virtual recording cells 40 in order to form recording
marks 48A - 48G having five stages or more of different

reflectivity of each of the virtual recording cells 40 is
modulated in multi-stages to vary in five stages or more
the entire reflectivity level of the reading laser beam
used upon reading in the virtual recording cell including
the outside of the recording mark.

Abstract: An improved method for controlling electrically operated weft-braking devices, capable of
automatically adjusting the mechanical tension of the weft yarn (F) in mechanical-picking
weaving machines (TE), is disclosed herein. The excitation current (Ie) of the weft-braking
device (LF) is controlled by an adjustment loop (A) using a signal (tens-mis), which is a
measure of the actual tension of the yarn, as a feedback signal for the adjustment loop (A).
The improvement comprises employing an average value (TMx), which is computed at
predetermined intervals (x) of weft picking and for a predetermined number (i) of picking
strokes, in order to measure the direct tension of the thread (F), so that said average value
(TMx) is substantially stable and not affected by fluctuations due to variations of the
parameters of the weaving process.

Abstract: Presented is a method of conformally coating a light emitting semiconductor
structure with a phosphor layer to produce a substantially uniform white light. A light
emitting semiconductor structure is coupled to a submount, a first bias voltage is applied to
the submount, and a second bias voltage is applied to a solution of charged phosphor
particles. The charged phosphor particles deposit on the conductive surfaces of the light
emitting semiconductor structure. If the light emitting semiconductor structure includes a
nonconductive substrate, the light emitting semiconductor structure is coated with an
electroconductive material to induce phosphor deposition. The electrophoretic deposition of
the phosphor particles creates a phosphor layer of uniform thickness that produces uniform
white light without colored rings.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un tonomètre à jet d'air comprimé qui comporte un objet situé en un point du parcours optique de la lumière émise par une source lumineuse dans le tonomètre, typiquement à proximité de cette source, de sorte qu'une image focalisée de l'objet est formée dans le champ de vision de l'utilisateur, lorsque le tonomètre se trouve à une distance critique de l'oeil examiné, position dans laquelle le dispositif de génération automatique d'air pulsé est déclenché par le reflet de la lumière par l'oeil, formant ainsi une image focalisée d'un masque sur une pluralité de capteurs photoélectriques. Un deuxième objet peut être placé dans la même zone du tonomètre que le premier, mais sur un plan espacé du plan du premier objet, son image étant focalisée dans le champ de vision juste avant celle du premier objet, à mesure que l'unité est déplacée lentement en direction de l'oeil du patient. Un troisième objet visuellement différentiable des deux premiers peut être disposé dans un troisième plan espacé du plan du premier objet, son image étant focalisée si l'unité est approchée de l'oeil du patient au-delà de ladite distance critique. Les faces opposées du tube de jet d'air comprimé du tonomètre peuvent comprendre deux sources lumineuses supplémentaires pour projeter deux faisceaux lumineux étroits vers l'oeil examiné, lesquels apparaissent sous forme de deux points lumineux dans le champ de vision en amont lorsque l'image focalisée du/des objet(s) est visualisée. En règle générale, cette dernière est réalisée au moyen de lumière rouge, les deux sources lumineuses supplémentaires produisant de la lumière verte. Un oculaire de longueur focale plus importante peut être utilisé pour voir une image de l'oeil à une certaine distance, afin de faciliter l'alignement initial du tonomètre avec le visage du patient.
